Verizon desktop

How can I stop my dinc from connecting to the verizon website each time I connect the data cable to the dinc and pc(windows, xp pro)?
I know it's my fault for downloading the drivers when I first got the dinc.
If I don't let the web page completely load I get a series of error messages.
Is there a down side to not allowing the dinc to connect to the verizon web site?
